Matua with Paua 21

A wonderful, meaningful alternative to a 21st key. This hand-carved Matau sits on a wooden base with a paua "21" inlaid into it.

The Matua is a stylised fish hook. According to Maori legend, the North Island of New Zealand was once a huge fish that was caught by the master mariner Maui using a bone hook on a woven line. The matau represents strength, good luck and safe travel across water.

This makes a wonderful 21st gift - something the recipient will want to display forever.

Personalised engraving can be added to the back of the base.

Measures 32cm high, including base.
